The dormitory building is a Soviet-style tube building built in the sixties, 20 years old, the red brick façade is crawling with vines, the building number on the blue enamel sign is correct, Liu Yan walked straight to a unit stairwell, the so-called stairwell is a cramped and narrow place under the stairs, which can only accommodate it.

He knocked on the door, no one cared, lying on the door to listen, there was a sound of snoring in the room, this Professor Fei is an outlier in the university, he is not liked by the leaders, and the students do not like his classes, so he acts even more arrogantly, everyone thinks that he has been stimulated in the Cultural Revolution, does not care about him in general, and no one cares about him if he does not go to work.

It is estimated that Professor Fei was hangover and didn't wake up, he couldn't knock on the door, so he couldn't smash it in, Liu Yanzhi had to wait outside, and slowly, some family members of faculty and staff came back from the morning market with vegetable baskets, and they all looked sideways when they saw a well-dressed stranger standing at the door of Professor Fei's house.

"Comrade, are you?" Finally, an enthusiastic aunt asked.

"I'm a student of Professor Fei, and I've come to see him from Beijing." Liu Yanzhi already had the answer.

"Then you wait, he may not wake up at three poles in the sun, this old man is an old drunkard." The aunt went upstairs with the fresh fish she bought, and when she walked to the second floor, she suddenly probed and said, "Why don't you go to Fei Nan, she doesn't seem to have classes in the morning." ”

Fei Nan is the daughter of Professor Fei, working as a teaching assistant at Jiangdong University, married, and has another place to live, Liu Yanzhi inquired and found her in the office of the Department of Philosophy, this is a woman in her thirties, high cheekbones, very mean appearance, and a thin collarbone under the georgette skirt.

"What do you call it?" Fei Nan had a light attitude, picked up the pressure hot water bottle and poured Liu Yanzhi a glass of boiled water.

"My name is He Fumin, I am a student of Professor Fei, and I happened to be on a business trip to Omi, so I came to see the teacher." Liu Yan memorized the lines that had been prepared a long time ago, He Fumin was indeed a student of Professor Fei, but he was very inconspicuous, and no one would remember him.

"Thank you for remembering my dad, he's still drunk, why don't you come back later?" Fei Nan looked at his watch and hinted that he still had something to do, and this was the eviction order.

Liu Yan said straightforwardly, Professor Fei's daughter looks like a shrewd character, it is better to give her the money and let her take care of Professor Fei, the old man is drunk all day long, even if he has money, he still buys drunk every day, and sooner or later he will die.

He picked up his leatherette bag, unzipped it, and pulled out a stack of bills from it and placed it on the table.

There was no one else in the office, and a large stack of bills lay quietly on the writing desk covered with green felt and glass plates, which was shocking.

Fei Nan was frightened, and involuntarily glanced at the phone number under the table, there was the phone number of the security department on it, but the phone was in the department head's room, and it was still dozens of meters away from here.

Her first thought was that the money was stolen money, in short, the source was unknown, and this guy was also very suspicious, because for so many years, how could any student have seen his father, and suddenly one jumped out and took out a huge amount of money, he must have other intentions.

"This is a little bit of affection for Professor Fei, you can collect it on your behalf." Liu Yanzhi said.

"You...... What do you mean by that? Fei Nan asked with difficulty, this money is enough for tens of thousands, his monthly salary is only more than 200 yuan, and his family is trying to buy imported Panasonic 17-inch large color TV, isn't this a charcoal in the snow?

"It's not interesting, it's just the heart." Liu Yanzhi said, "I am grateful to Professor Fei for his teachings to me, so I have my achievements today, so I specially thank him." ”

"What unit are you in?" Fei Nan's eyes lit up, the most fashionable thing in these years is a Sino-foreign joint venture company, this Mr. He is afraid that he is working for foreigners, and his salary is all foreign exchange coupons.

"I work at IBM." Liu Yanzhi's answer was in line with Fei Nan's expectations, and he was so excited that he quickly locked the money in the drawer and took out the good tea: "Taste this, Biluochun, what...... I'll call you senior brother, don't go, don't live in a guest house, stay at home, I'll let my family go grocery shopping, and you and the old man have a good drink in the evening to catch up with the old days. As he spoke, he opened the floor fan, which is the Yuexian brand shaking head fan produced in Qingdao, and Liu Yanzhi also had one at home when he was a child.

Liu Yanzhi was a little uncomfortable by the sudden enthusiasm, and said that he had to go to the Department of Industry to do something, so he got out, but he still had to come back at noon, and he had to see Professor Fei anyway, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the party patriotic.

It's half past eight, it's been delayed for an hour, and it's still too late to go home, there were no taxis on the streets in 1987, only the kind of big passage buses, with a turntable in the middle, and even cars were scarce, traffic policemen wore white uniforms to direct the passage of vehicles, and on the slow lane, a large number of bicycles were moving.

"This was thirty years ago." Liu Yanzhi said with emotion, although he was ten years old at this time, but his memories and personal experience are different after all, he is like wandering in the long river of history, feeling the air of the 80s, the blue sky and white clouds without haze in the 80s.

With his memory, Liu Yanzhi found the optical instrument factory where his parents were, and there was a five-pointed star made of iron sheet on the iron fence door, which vaguely left traces of slogans, which seemed to be "celebrating May Day", he didn't enter the door, bought a brown paper envelope at the nearby post office, stuffed a stack of banknotes, and the envelope was firmly glued with free paste, and his father's name was written on it, and he came to the factory gate and handed the envelope to the doorman.

"Master, please be sure to pass it on to him." Liu Yanzhi put a cigarette on the doorman, this is the peony brand cigarette he just bought from the shop, there is no supermarket these days, and he has to go to the shop to buy things.

"Letter to Master Liu, you wait, I'll call him." The doorman was also bold, turned around and ran to the factory, shouting as he ran: "Lao Liu, Lao Liu, someone is looking for you at the door." ”

The optical instrument factory is not big, just three workshops, the doorman's loud voice resounded throughout the factory, Liu Yanzhi's father came out of the workshop in a blue canvas work uniform, with a cigarette in his mouth, and responded: "What are you shouting, I heard it." ”

Liu Yan saw his young father from a distance through the iron fence gate, tears couldn't help but fall, he wanted to step forward and call his father, but he couldn't, he couldn't explain all this, and he was afraid that he would not be able to help but stay.

Master Liu came to the guard's room, but he didn't see the messenger.

"Strange, I was still here." The doorman scratched his head, "Look, he gave me a cigarette." ”

Master Liu took the bulging envelope and left, and on the way he tore open the envelope, revealing the banknotes inside, he was stunned, looked around, and carefully hid the envelope in his overalls.

Behind the telephone pole opposite the factory gate, Liu Yanzhi saw his father hiding the envelope, so he left with confidence, and the next stop, he was going to find himself, to find himself when he was ten years old.

He was a little excited, because he suddenly remembered an incident when he was a child, when he was in the fifth grade, he wanted a set of "The Adventures of Tintin" the most, but a full set of picture books cost seventeen yuan, which is a huge amount of money, and he needed to save five years of pocket money, but suddenly one day, he magically owned this set of picture books, and later was beaten by his father because he couldn't tell the origin.

Now he finally understands the origin of "The Adventures of Tintin", which was bought by himself in 2017 to his own in 1987.

Next stop, Xinhua Bookstore!

Thirty years ago, Xinhua Bookstore was still a gray four-story building, and all the books were placed on the glass counter, and you could not flip through them at will, so you had to ask the salesperson to take out the books.

Liu Yan stood straight in front of the counter, full of pride, and slapped the two big unity on the counter.

"Give me a set of The Adventures of Tintin."

The picture book is seven corners and five points, a total of thirty-two volumes, the salesman dialed the abacus and calculated, collected the money and made change, wrapped it in kraft paper, tied a plastic rope on the outside, Liu Yanzhi put the book into the bag, and left happily.

Guangrong Road Primary School, which is Liu Yanzhi's alma mater, spent his June primary school career here.

"My teachers and classmates, are you all right?" Liu Yanzhi said silently, and walked into the door, the doorman was looking down at the newspaper, not caring about him at all.

At the end of class, when the students were playing outside, Liu Yanzhi saw himself from afar, a little boy in corduroy pants running on the playground.

Without further ado, he walked into the classroom, scanned his eyes privately, and soon found his seat, the familiar pencil case, the familiar textbook, and his own graffiti on it, and he didn't have time to think about it, and stuffed the full set of "The Adventures of Tintin" wrapped in vellum paper into the hole.

The electric bell rang, and there was a dense sound of footsteps outside, Liu Yanzhi hurriedly walked out of the classroom, and met a child who crashed into his arms, and looked at it, isn't this himself!

Ten-year-old Liu Yanzhi didn't look up at all, said the teacher was sorry, and went around and ran into the classroom.

Someone came over again, it was Liu Yanzhi's homeroom teacher, Mr. Zhang, a very strict middle-aged woman, she had a textbook under her arm, and a whip in her hand, which was made of bamboo, I don't know how many students were frightened, and the parents who were beaten by those children would only say, teacher, if you beat it well, this child will be beaten!

"Hello Mr. Zhang." Liu Yan greeted him in horror and hurried away.

Teacher Zhang looked at the middle-aged man's back suspiciously, lifted his glasses, and asked Teacher Li who came on the other side, "Who is that person?" ”

"From the District Education Bureau." Teacher Li replied casually.

At this time, Liu Yanzhi had successfully deflated Mr. Zhang's bicycle tires and escaped from school, looking at his watch, time was limited, he hurriedly came to the non-staple food building, bought two bottles of Huaijiang Tequ, weighed five catties of pork jerky, and bought two catties of spiced peanuts, and rushed to Jiangdong University.

In front of the faculty dormitory building, Fei Nan was waiting for someone, and when he saw Liu Yan walking straight, he was overjoyed: "Senior Brother He, you are here, go, go to my house." ”

Liu Yan asked directly: "What about Professor Fei?" ”

"At my house." Fei Nan couldn't wait to hold Liu Yanzhi's arm, and asked questions along the way, mostly about IBM and the treatment of foreign companies.

"We teachers are not as good as self-employed people who sell tea eggs." Fei Nan complained, "It's still good for employees of foreign companies, Sino-foreign joint ventures are also good, with high salaries and high status. ”

Fei Nan's home is in the community near the university, a two-bedroom house on the third floor, two people live in one, children and grandmother live in one, Fei Nan's husband is stir-frying in the kitchen, just probe said hello, it can be seen that he is an honest wife and strict man.

Professor Fei was sitting on the sofa, he was a thin old man, listless, and when he saw the Huaijiang special song that Liu Yan was carrying, his eyes flashed.

Fei Nan went into the kitchen to help, but his wife was still reading the newspaper in the room and didn't come out to greet the guests at all.

Only Professor Fei and Liu Yanzhi were left in the living room.

The little old man smiled slyly: "You are not He Fumin, who are you?" ”

Liu Yanzhi didn't speak.

"You give Xiao Nan nine thousand yuan?" The old man then asked, "Who brought this money to you, I don't remember anyone who has been so gracious." ”

Liu Yan leaned over and whispered, "Old man, in fact, I have been here since 2017, and I am a traverser." ”
